I'm giving away several audible.com editions of the nonfiction, A Search for Meaning from the Surface of a Small Planet, over the
next few days.If interested, please
leave a comment along with your email address, and I will send a free code for
the audio book.Of course, a review at audible.com would be nice
if you are so inclined.The audio book is
narrated by Tim Danko.

This award winning nonfiction book, A Search for Meaning
from the Surface of a Small Planet, is both sober and lighthearted, sometimes
awed and sometimes irreverent (toward both science and religion)-but always
intensely personal, rational, stretching and pressing toward a wedding of
scientific understanding and mystical thought.

In this book, Don dramatically investigates the sciences,
religions and philosophies with a view toward dignifying the human experience
and provides a frame work in which the individual reader may validate his/her
own life and dreams relating to the whole.Don's slant into the material is unique; often humorous; the findings
evocative; conclusions satisfying for the rationalist; inspiring; and, perhaps,
even transformational for the true seeker.

For those who wish to be challenged by innovative thinking
and daring ideas-reaching with their minds to coax out an understanding of the
world as well as the meaning of their own lives-will find this book takes them
on a spiritual search as well as an intellectual one

"Don Pendleton was not only a writer with a strong
sense of how to use language, but he was also an interdisciplinarian whose
interests are far-ranging. A SEARCH FOR
MEANING is nothing less than an attempt to synthesize metaphysics and physics.
Yet, the tenor of the book invites a broad audience to read, to think about, to
puzzle over the many questions he asks in his quest to understand the meaning
of ‘meaning.' Integrating many domains of knowledge, Pendleton touches on
questions of religion, God, relativity, and brain research, among other
fields...all in all, this book is a must-read for a general audience."

Professor of English and Creative Arts at San Jose State
University, and

Independent E-book Awards Judge, 2002.

A Search for Meaning From the Surface of a Small Planet won
the Independent E-book 2002 Best of Nonfiction Award and the Digital
Literature Best of Nonfiction, 2002.Available in Tradepaper and Kindle, as well.

About Me

Welcome and Enjoy!

I am a published writer. When asked what I write I often say my writing goes from “flying angels to flying bullets.” When I receive those curious looks it may be because I fail to say, “not in the same book.”

I write nonfiction books about angels and spirit communication with the Other Side, Spiritualism, and UFOs. I also write mysteries, suspense, and historical novels, and I have scripted Comic books.

Some of my writing was with my late husband, Don Pendleton, father of the Action/Adventure literary genre, creator of The Executioner: Mack Bolan Series, the Joe Copp Private Eye Series, and the Ashton Ford, Psychic Detective Series.

I have published a Kindle ebook edition of our popular nonfiction book, To Dance With Angels, which was first published in 1990. I am delighted to now have it available for Kindle, in print, and audio.

As if my books don’t keep me busy enough, I now have four Blogs, this one, and my World of Spirit Blog and the two listed below. I suppose I should mention, my four websites...they are listed in the side panel below.

I have a Ragdoll kitten, Max, and he keeps me busy keeping him out of trouble! And I am convinced he is part dog. I hope you enjoy reading the eclectic posts and please feel free to share your thoughts with me.
